– Fixed bug: reading tags/album artwork from files/folders with non-standard Latin characters (accents, etc)Please note that this will work only for new files — the files already added to the database can’t be updated (We plan to offer this in 3.3)
(the only solution/work-around right now is to manually edit the database.xml file and manually remove those badly scanned files and then to re-add them in the software)
